Gas tank swap??!!


Hello 'backers!!  I've got a ' 70 Squareback that I have done quite a bit of
custom bodywork on including shaving the gas door on the right front fender.
 I was just going to re-route the fill hose but noticed that earlier Type
IIIs have a stock gas tank with the filler pipe going through the sheet metal
partition up near the front of the car.  I am wondering what years this gas
tank was available and if it will fit in place of my existing tank.  My car
is fuel-injected and I remember reading something about the gas filler tube
and/or gas cap were "special" (something to do with the venting I think).
 Any ideas about what I can do?  I don't mind if the earlier tanks are
smaller, my car will be a nice weather driver anyway.  Thanks for any
input!!!
